Iran is acting up. Or it's being hyped up. Either way, just the sort of distraction Trump needs right now.

Trump tweets
Crazy Nancy Pelosi deleted this from her Twitter account. She wanted everyone to pack into Chinatown long after I closed the BORDER TO CHINA. Based on her statement, she is responsible for many deaths. She’s an incompetent, third-rate politician! (link to video in tweet). https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/...52583318736896 |

On February 24, Nancy Pelosi was on TV saying she thought it was safe for people to visit San Francisco's Chinatown where business had dropped dramatically. On that date there were no confirmed cases of coronavirus in San Francisco. Three days later the state public health director announced:

Listen to him on the Cohen tapes. Totally different inflection and affect. I wouldn't go so far as to call him articulate or well spoken, but he at least talks like a human being capable of human speech.

I see that now the Midwest governors are cooperating on health and economic reopen plans. So we have 3 different groups of states already formed: Midwest, West and East. Imagine in all 50 states could band together on this, almost a “Confederation” of 50 states. I’d like to read some Articles on this.

I walked by her end a minute ago. He sounds drugged. Very much a monotone.
Trump's "gift" is extemporaneous speaking. He can talk without notes for hours on end. It may not mean anything, or consist of a series of lies, but he can do it. Having to work from notes is something he's just not good at. |

Like I said above, he's wooden, stilted, and monotone when he's reading...because he can read the words but he does not process the meaning of what he's reading well. Comprehension problems. That's why he becomes animated and appears much more confident when he's speaking rather than reading.
My best friend is a reading specialist. I'm going to ask her to watch him and get her opinion on this. |

If he's too vain to wear glasses then he could wear 'reading' contacts that correct both near and far seeing problems. Or, he could get laser surgery that does the same thing. I got that almost 30 years ago. It was very easy. Personally, I'd rather get either than look like a 3rd grade school kid reading a book report that clearly my high school sibling wrote for me.

I agree. My sister has the same problem with processing the written word. Show her; she gets it. Read it; forget it. When she was in 2nd grade and her class* was given a written IQ test, she scored in the 'retarded' category. She went on to get a BS in nursing, achieve the rank of major in the Army Reserves and captain in the the active Air Force, and run the maternity ward in the King Faisal Royal Hospital in Saudi Arabia for 4 years.

He doesn't even let [spray tan] near his eyes. He's gone full Orangeface from those eye cups.
